Already a month into 2018, and I can already tell this year is going to fly by! I don't know about you, but my calendar is filling up quickly - if you're looking for something fun to do with your dog this month, I've got a few ideas:

Things to do with your dog in Houston (February 2018):

February 3 - Meadowlake's Puppy Bowl. Teams of puppies will compete for touchdowns and fans can watch on Meadowlake's Facebook and Instagram feeds. Everyone wins!

February 3 - Champagne and Yoga in the Heights. Dog-friendly yoga class followed by champagne social, benefiting Animal Justice League.

February 10 - 2nd Annual PuppyUp Walk in The Woodlands. A fun walk with your dog, vendors, music, silent auction, and refreshments all to raise money for cancer research both human and canine.

First things first: Go 'Stros!!

What an exciting World Series! And I love how Houston is coming together to celebrate this big win! I didn't go to any of the playoff or WS games, but instead, I curled up on the couch with the puppies to watch the Astros each night.
